This beautifully designed and visually stunning clinical atlas offers myriad clinical situations in which anterior ceramic restorations can be used to correct esthetic problems. Each section presents one case that focuses on a distinct set of esthetic and dental conditions that necessitate restoration, such as fracture, crowding, rotation, asymmetry, discoloration, contour, caries, or implant considerations, among others. The case presentation begins by showing the definitive esthetic result alongside a succinct, multilingual (English, German, Japanese, and Korean) description of the initial conditions and the procedure used.

The seventh edition of Peridontal Instrumentationand Advanced Root Instrumentation continues in the tradition of bringing faculty and students everything they need to understand instrumentation and put knowledge into practice.

No other text offers such an array of features and topics, all presented by one of the most well-known authors in the dental hygiene field.

This expert guide presents the research and state-of-the-art protocols for advanced immediate loading of dental implants. The first several chapters review the scientific and biologic basis of immediate loading, including requirements for successful clinical application, the importance of implant surface and design characteristics, and the results of significant histologic studies. The later chapters build on this knowledge, presenting research results and clinical case examples relevant to specific applications of immediate loading, including its use in the anterior mandible, edentulous arches, posterior regions, single-tooth gaps, and fresh extraction sockets. Finally, the book provides valuable clinical hints to help the practitioner avoid and manage complications associated with immediate loading.

Today, bone grafts and bone substitutes are successfully used to augment the bone volume of the floor of the maxillary sinus. Volume 5 of the ITI Treatment Guide series provides clinicians with evidence-based data and practical information relating to sinus floor elevation procedures.

Strong emphasis has been placed on proper case selection, based on a comprehensive clinical and radiological examination of the patient. Detailed case studies and illustrations support the clinical recommendations and highlight the challenges associated with the management of complications of these surgical procedures.

Using a detailed, heavily illustrated, step-by-step approach, this comprehensive guide helps you master the fundamentals and procedures of restorative and preventive dentistry and learn to make informed decisions to solve patient needs. This widely respected text draws from both theory and practice, and is supported by extensive clinical and laboratory research. The new edition features a new full-color design, significant content updates, and a new companion website with six supplemental chapters, videos, and more.

In 2002, funding from the Netherlands, Denmark, and Ireland spurred the creation of the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA). By 2005, the organization had defined its mission as a “network of national funding agencies and the European Science Foundation…committed to leading and developing funding opportunities for humanities researchers in Europe…and sharing management practices and outcomes.”

Visitors can find a list of the member countries under the Network of Funders tab. Visitors interested in
learning what topics of humanities research have been aided by HERA should check out the News tab on the menu near the top of any page. There visitors will find Research Policy News, Research News, and Newsfeeds. Some newsfeeds of note here include International Conference on Translating E-Literature, Radio Show on Vienna Housing, and Memory Work and Civil Society.
